Mrs. Smith, a 75-year-old female, is a patient on your unit. She has had diabetes for ten years and only takes diabetes pills at home. When she is in the hospital, she asks you why she needs the insulin shot. What is your best response?

"You will need this shot from now on because your diabetes is getting worse."

"You will probably only need this while in the hospital. When you are sick, your glucose goes up."

"You are getting the shot to decrease your insulin production."

"You are getting the shot to stimulate your pancreas to make more insulin. If it works, you won't need anymore insulin"
